Fidel Castro Warns of World Food Crisis Prensa Latina (Cuba) Havana - Cuban President Fidel Castro asserted the lack of fuel in the world and its current price will worsen the problem of food.
Grain and cereal productions are increasingly targeting the production of alcohol to be used as fuel for automobiles, stated Fidel Castro in his address to the Cuban People´s Power National Assembly (parliament) seventh period of sessions.
That means automobiles are competing with food and humankind is not prepared to cope with the current energy crisis, noted the leader of the Cuban Revolution.
He said the world is facing this situation because it has been drawn by the consumption models of industrialized nations, which at the same time have driven the Third World into them. (10 June 2006)
